Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!
This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.
The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.
Really useful and fun to use. Unfortunately I’m nearly done with all tasks in my region.
SCEE is described as StreetComplete for advanced users. Does anyone have experience with this?

Yeah, it’s made more for refining and confirming details than for adding entirely new objects.
When I want to add something that’s not on the map yet, I either add a note in StreetComplete and come back to it later on my computer, or I add it using Vespucci. (I’ve been known to add items using Vespucci, then reload the data on StreetComplete so I can fill in details that aren’t in the presets and that I can’t remember how to tag manually!)
Saved you a search.
Hijacking the thread:
You are all welcome on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml to discuss anyting OpenStreetMap-related
Also have a look to https://mapcomplete.osm.be - this one works on mobile and desktop and has many thematic maps (e.g. one for shops, one for cycling stuff, one for toilets) and you can improve the data there as well + add images.
Thank you for sharing this.
Cool I loved it when Google Maps allowed contributing stuff. There are so many little annoyances where you get incorrect directions that could be fixed so easily by crowd sourcing, but are too small to fix otherwise.
I discovered the app a few weeks ago and man, am I thrilled. I totally grinded it out too. Above all, I find the function for measuring the width of the street very elegant
This is perfect! I’ve been meaning to get into contributing to OSM in my area, and this makes that very easy. I will be heading out once the rain stops to test this.
Oh wow OH WOW I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS!!! Yes!!!
How open is this? Can anybody download the data that is collected? Or is this like Waze, which did something similar, then just sold out to Google?
The only thing I want to say is “OpenStreetMap got the FSF award in 2018”.
As the same openstreetmap site say it’s the wikipedia of maps, run by the community and some corporations like meta, Microsoft and Apple.
And some people, like me, thanks to microg use the data for geocoding and don’t rely on google for that.
Anything for iOS?
Nice. I’ll participate whenever I have some time.
